The presidential election is starting to take shape and voting happens in September. Anyone 18 years of age or older, is able to vote, as we all are aware. Here’s a little Q&A excerpt to provide you with some information that you might not be aware of:
- What if you are in custody?
- What if you’re serving a sentence in prison?
- What if you have a criminal history?
- Can you still vote?
- Even if you’ve been convicted of a misdemeanor, you may still vote.
- If you are a convicted felon and are currently serving your sentence in prison, or are on parole, you are not allowed to vote.
- As soon as you are released from prison and no longer need to follow up with your parole officer, your voting rights are restored.
- If you are in custody or jail, you may vote, as long as you are accused of a misdemeanor (not a felony).
Below are some projected answers to these questions to spark your awareness just a bit:
These voting rights and restrictions are not the same in every state. Some will be the same, while others may differ.
